B1 eng to ATPL
Hello All,
I have been in the aviation industry as a maintenance engineer since being 16 and I am fast approaching the big four 0. I have been licensed the last 12 years or so and have had enough of the engineering side.
I am undertaking my PPL very soon with the intention of gaining my ATPL and the obvious move to the flying side to finish off the last years of my aviation career.
Does anybody have any advice for me on whether I should undertake this endeavour or not,particularly the availability of jobs once gaining my ATPL.
I appreciate that things change quickly in the aviation industry, you only have to look back less than 12 months!!
All feedback is welcomed no matter how harsh! I just want to get an idea that I am doing the right thing before parting with a vast sum of money and not getting as decent position at the end of it--I am sure it is a question everyone ponders on but like I have said I welcome all feedback and insight.
Regards, DS
